Angels stop asking Allah to forgive people when they pass wind.
Allah's Apostle said, "The angels keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for anyone of you, as long as he is at his Mu,salla (praying place) and he does not pass wind (Hadath). They say, 'O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! be Merciful to him." - Volume 1, Book 8, Number 436: Narrated Abu Huraira:
When he enters the mosque he is considered in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer and the angels keep on asking for Allah's forgiveness for him and they keep on saying: 'O Allah! Be Merciful to him, O Allah! Forgive him, as long as he keeps on sitting at his praying place and does not pass wind. (See Hadith No. 620). - Volume 1, Book 8, Number 466: Narrated Abu Huraira:

Nobody Wins
by Radney Foster
album: Del Rio, Texas, 1959 [Arista Records] (1992),
Are You Ready for the Big Show? [Dualtone Music Gr (2001)
U said this aint over yet
I said things that I’ll regret
Wont be easy to forget
Scars take time to heal

Before another bitter word gets used
I was hoping we could call a truce
Cause no body wins
we both lose
Hearts get broken and love gets bruised
When we light that same old fuse again and again
No body wins
slammin doors
we both lost this fight before
And I wont play this game no more
Cause no body wins

Darlin we got too much pride
It dont matter whose wrong or right
Honey love aint black and white
The way I feel bout u

All I want to do is hold u tight
I cant take another angry nite

Nobody wins
We both lose
Hearts get broken and love gets bruised
When we light that same ol' fuse, again and again
Nobody wins
Slammin doors
We both lost this fight before
And I wont play this game no more
Cause nobody wins

I know somethings bout to break if we dont bend
Baby whats it gonna take. . .

Nobody wins
We both lose
Hearts get broken and love gets bruised
When we light that same ol' fuse, again and again
Nobody wins
Slammin doors
We both lost this fight before
And I aint gonna play this game no more
Cause nobody wins

Nobody wins
Nobody wins

Some people blame the devil for anything they do wrong or evil in their live or any evil like war and greed! How can you blame some other being when it's your descision?
It's humans who have good and evil in them and have a choice. Isn't that true?

by neighboring natives. It turns out the young man and his parents were shipwrecked on the island when he was just 5 years old. His parents died, but by some miracle he survived. He found water, berries and bananas. Later he learned to catch fish & forage for eggs. At night he slept under the stars. Each morning he awoke with the sun. The wind blew, the rain fell, and he was happy. Over time forgot about people.

When the natives found him, he was shocked, but slowly began to remember his youth and parents. The natives started to teach him their religion... in order to get food and water, for the sun to rise, and to be happy, he had to pray to their god. They told him that even though his parents were dead, he could still talk to them in prayers.

Suddenly, everything the young man knew was in conflict. Food simply grew. Rain just fell, and the sun came up no matter what! His whole life his parents never spoke to him. Life never required prayer before.

So why should he change now?

So, let me sort out the facts I've gathered here.

Creation:

Day 1: He created light.
Day 2: He separated the sky and sea.
Day 3: He created dry land and plants
Day 4: He created the Sun, Moon, and stars (This seems redundant, but I think I can explain. On Day 1, He created a 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000W workstation bulb, but on Day 3 water splashed on it, and it shattered. He figured next time, He'd go with giant orbs of super-heated gas.)
Day 5: He created birds, insects, and sea creatures.
Day 6: He created animals and man.
Day 7: Nappie-poo.

The way I see it, Days 2, 3, 5, and 6 were spent working on Earth. Days 1 and 6 He worked on the rest of the Universe. But the Earth is just a speck of dust in the solar system, which is a speck of dust in the galaxy, which is a speck of dust...you get the picture. Why did it take 2 days to create the Universe, and 4 to fix up Earth? *Im not done yet*

Paul Verhoeven who made Showgirls, Robocop and Starship Troopers is risking death threats to make a movie theorizing that Jesus may have been a regular ol' dude and not the Son of God. Verhoeven knows the controversy that surrounds the project, and probably knows that it could become his last film in the States.

What if the angels with trumpets were metaphorical, that Jesus came on clouds- was meant to mean that he was "unrecognizable"? I feel like if Judgement day were literal, everyone on earth would recognize it, but if it were metaphorical then only the truly spiritual people would recognize it. My main question is, how would you react- if it were true that Judgment day had already occured and was not what was expected?

I am having a tough time navigating my life right now and I am very hesistant to make any decisions because I just don't know where God is leading me. I have prayed and prayed about it, but I am not feeling any better. Is there a way I can open myself more to God's will or should I just make the choices and pray for God's support?

Based on findings it seems that the Dinosaurs played a major part in the history of the planet. However, they do not play a major part in the stories of the bible.

Why are there not pictures attributed to the stories in the bible on cave paintings? I would think that the great flood and other bible stories would have had a large impact on the people of that time.

Questions for Muslims

Dear Muslim, I do not post these questions as a "proof" that Islam is false. I do not believe that is possible with a simple list of questions. Nevertheless, they are here to encourage discussion that the truth may be known.
The Qur'an says "To those who believe and do deeds of righteousness hath Allah promised forgiveness and a great reward" (Surah 5:9).
Question: Are you doing enough good deeds to receive salvation on the Day of Judgment?
Question: Are you doing all you can or are you relaxing in your dedication to Allah?
The Qur'an says, "O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things," (66:8-9). Notice how it says if you are sincere you may receive forgiveness.
Question: How do you know you are sincere enough to be forgiven of Allah?
Question: Does it give you peace to know that even if you are very sincere that at best, you may receive forgiveness?
Question: If you say that you know you are sincere enough in your repentance before Allah, how do you know you are not deceiving yourself?
Question: Is your heart really good enough to muster enough sincerity before a Holy and Righteous God?
Question: If you say yes, I honestly and humbly ask you, "Are you being prideful?"
Question: If you say you are not being prideful, then are you boasting in your sincerity?
In Christianity, Jesus is God in flesh who paid for our sins on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). Because of that, we Christians are secure in Him and do not have to worry about doing enough good works to please God since we are saved by grace through faith in Him, (Eph. 2:8-9).
Question: Why should we Christians give up our guarantee of salvation in Jesus for the requirements of your Qur'anic law when you yourselves don't even know if you have done enough good deeds to be saved on the Day of Judgment?
The Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:16) and that He loves all people (Matt. 5:43-48; John 3:16). The Qur'an never says that "God is love." In fact, the Qur'an says that Allah does not love unbelievers (2:98; 3:32).
Question: If Allah does not love unbelievers, can you say that Allah is love, especially if the Qur'an does not say it?
Question: If you say yes, that Allah is love, then why does he only love the Muslims and not all people?
Question: If you say Allah is love, is he more loving than the God of the Bible who loves all people?
In the Bible, Jesus said in John 15:13, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." In Christianity, the greatest act of love is performed by God Himself -- since Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9). Jesus is the one who fulfilled His own words on this. He laid His life down for us.
Question: What is the greatest act of love performed by Allah?
Question: If what Jesus said is true, then hasn't someone besides Allah performed the greatest act of love?
Question: Why do you, as a Muslim, want me to give up such a great love performed by God Himself (from a Christian perspective) for your belief in Allah who only loves people if they are Muslims?
Islam teaches that the Holy Spirit is Gabriel. In the Bible, the Holy Spirit lives in the Christians.
Question: If the angel Gabriel is the Holy Spirit, how can he dwell in us? (Note: According to the Nestle Aland Greek New Testament Textual Apparatus, there are no textual variations any of the following biblical references. They are recorded and transmitted to us accurately.)
"Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you," (2 Tim. 1:14, NASB).
"Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Cor. 3:16, NASB).
Lying is okay?
Question: Was Muhammad wrong for advocating lying? Is Lying okay? "Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him [Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf]?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You may say it," (Hadith Vol. 5, Book 59, #369).
Question: Who is more holy, Allah or Yahweh?
In the above quote from the hadith, Muhammad advocated lying. The Christian God would never approve of lying. Does the god of Islam approve of lying? If not, then wasn't Muhammad wrong? If he was not wrong, then Allah approves of lying. Which God is more holy? The God of Christianity is far more holy.
